2 Kings 1
1 Then Moab rebelled against Israel after the death of Ahab.
Potem se je, po Ahábovi smrti, Moáb uprl zoper Izraela.
2 And Ahaziah fell down through a lattice in his upper chamber that [was] in Samaria, and was sick: and he sent messengers, and said unto them, Go, enquire of Baal-zebub the god of Ekron whether I shall recover of this disease.
Ahazjá je padel dol skozi mrežo v svoji gornji sobi, ki je bila v Samariji in je bil bolan. Poslal je poslance in jim rekel: »Pojdite, poizvedite od Báal Zebúba, boga v Ekrónu, ali si bom opomogel od te bolezni.«
3 But the angel of the LORD said to Elijah the Tishbite, Arise, go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria, and say unto them, [Is it] not because [there is] not a God in Israel, [that] ye go to enquire of Baal-zebub the god of Ekron?
Toda Gospodov angel je rekel Tišbéjcu Eliju: »Vstani, pojdi gor, da srečaš poslance samarijskega kralja in jim reci: › Mar ni zato, ker ni Boga v Izraelu, da greste povpraševat ekrónskega boga Báal Zebúba?‹
4 Now therefore thus saith the LORD, Thou shalt not come down from that bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt surely die. And Elijah departed.
Zdaj torej tako govori Gospod: ›Ne boš prišel dol iz svoje postelje, na katero si zlezel, temveč boš zagotovo umrl.‹« In Elija je odšel.
5 And when the messengers turned back unto him, he said unto them, Why are ye now turned back?
Ko so se poslanci obrnili nazaj k njemu, jim je rekel: »Zakaj ste se torej obrnili nazaj?«
6 And they said unto him, There came a man up to meet us, and said unto us, Go, turn again unto the king that sent you, and say unto him, Thus saith the LORD, [Is it] not because [there is] not a God in Israel, [that] thou sendest to enquire of Baal-zebub the god of Ekron? therefore thou shalt not come down from that bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt surely die.
Rekli so mu: »Vzdignil se je mož, da nas sreča in nam rekel: ›Pojdite, ponovno se obrnite h kralju, ki vas je poslal in mu recite: ›Tako govori Gospod: › Mar ni zato, ker ni Boga v Izraelu, da pošiljaš povpraševat ekrónskega boga Báal Zebúba?‹ Zato ne boš prišel dol iz svoje postelje, na katero si zlezel, temveč boš zagotovo umrl.‹«
7 And he said unto them, What manner of man [was he] which came up to meet you, and told you these words?
Rekel jim je: »Kakšne vrste mož je bil ta, ki se je vzdignil, da vas sreča in vam je povedal te besede?«
8 And they answered him, [He was] an hairy man, and girt with a girdle of leather about his loins. And he said, It [is] Elijah the Tishbite.
Odgovorili so mu: » Bil je kosmat človek in z usnjenim pasom opasan okoli ledij.« Rekel je: »To je Tišbéjec Elija.«
9 Then the king sent unto him a captain of fifty with his fifty. And he went up to him: and, behold, he sat on the top of an hill. And he spake unto him, Thou man of God, the king hath said, Come down.
Potem je kralj poslal k njemu petdesetnika z njegovimi petdesetimi. Ta je odšel gor k njemu, in glej, sedel je na vrhu hriba. Nagovoril ga je: »Božji mož, kralj je rekel: ›Pridi dol.‹«
10 And Elijah answered and said to the captain of fifty, If I [be] a man of God, then let fire come down from heaven, and consume thee and thy fifty. And there came down fire from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty.
Elija je odgovoril in petdesetniku rekel: »Če sem Božji mož, potem naj dol z neba pride ogenj in použije tebe in tvojih petdeset.« Dol z neba je prišel ogenj in použil njega in njegovih petdeset.
11 Again also he sent unto him another captain of fifty with his fifty. And he answered and said unto him, O man of God, thus hath the king said, Come down quickly.
Ponovno je k njemu poslal drugega petdesetnika z njegovimi petdesetimi. Ta je odgovoril in mu rekel: »Oh Božji mož, tako je rekel kralj: ›Pridi hitro dol.‹«
12 And Elijah answered and said unto them, If I [be] a man of God, let fire come down from heaven, and consume thee and thy fifty. And the fire of God came down from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty.
Elija je odgovoril in jim rekel: »Če sem Božji mož, naj dol z neba pride ogenj in použije tebe in tvojih petdeset.« In ogenj od Boga je prišel z neba in použil njega in njegovih petdeset.
13 And he sent again a captain of the third fifty with his fifty. And the third captain of fifty went up, and came and fell on his knees before Elijah, and besought him, and said unto him, O man of God, I pray thee, let my life, and the life of these fifty thy servants, be precious in thy sight.
Ponovno je poslal tretjega petdesetnika z njegovimi petdesetimi. Tretji petdesetnik je odšel gor, prišel in pred Elijem padel na kolena, ga rotil in mu rekel: »Oh Božji mož, prosim te, naj bodo moje življenje in življenja teh petdesetih tvojih služabnikov dragocena v tvojih očeh.
14 Behold, there came fire down from heaven, and burnt up the two captains of the former fifties with their fifties: therefore let my life now be precious in thy sight.
Glej, prišel je ogenj dol z neba in sežgal dva poveljnika prejšnjih petdesetih z njunimi petdesetimi. Zatorej naj bo moje življenje sedaj dragoceno v tvojih očeh.«
15 And the angel of the LORD said unto Elijah, Go down with him: be not afraid of him. And he arose, and went down with him unto the king.
Gospodov angel je rekel Eliju: »Z njim pojdi dol. Ne boj se ga.« In vstal je in z njim odšel dol h kralju.
16 And he said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Forasmuch as thou hast sent messengers to enquire of Baal-zebub the god of Ekron, [is it] not because [there is] no God in Israel to enquire of his word? therefore thou shalt not come down off that bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt surely die.
Rekel mu je: »Tako govori Gospod: ›Ker kakor si poslal poslance, da poizvejo od ekrónskega boga Báal Zebúba, mar ni to zato, ker ni Boga v Izraelu, da bi povprašal po njegovi besedi? Zato ne boš prišel dol iz postelje, na katero si zlezel, temveč boš zagotovo umrl.‹«
17 So he died according to the word of the LORD which Elijah had spoken. And Jehoram reigned in his stead in the second year of Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah; because he had no son.
Tako je umrl glede na Gospodovo besedo, ki jo je Elija govoril. Namesto njega je zakraljeval Jehorám, v drugem letu Józafatovega sina Jehoráma, Judovega kralja, ker ni imel sina.
18 Now the rest of the acts of Ahaziah which he did, [are] they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
Torej preostala izmed Ahazjájevih dejanj, ki jih je storil, mar niso zapisana v kroniški knjigi Izraelovih kraljev?
